If we can put a man on the moon, we can certainly — Oh wait, we can't.

Return To FlightI read with relief today that we've returned to space. Let's hope this and the next few shuttle missions go well, so that they can then tackle the decision about whether or not to deorbit the Hubble. If we run into more trouble with the shuttle, then repairing the Hubble obviously won't even be an option. I'm hoping they choose to repair it, of course. How else will we be able to keep an eye on the Dark Lord Sauron?

See, this is the kind of sh*t that worries me.. The US supposedly has done this hundreds maybe thousands of times in the past 30 years or so and now they can't even get it right... It is no longer economically worth going to space or some bullshit and at the rate we're destroying this planet there won't be anywhere to go soon enough... I say its time to invest in our future, slow down the damage to the planet and start looking for more goddamn places to live outside our globe.

You're so right Pedro. I even saw some idiot NASA so called experts saying they were gonna freeze people, send them into outer space then make then bring them back to life 20 years later and document the space for us on earth. Total bullshit, maybe we should start thinking about making the earth a little better, stop polluting so much sh*t, feed those starving bastards in africa and wherever they are and make some peace in the world so we all could get along, but of course, that won't happen in the next century, or even next. Not in the state the earth is now.
